Is the heating element exposed?

The pot sits on a base that has an element that fits into the bottom of the pot. I wouldnt say it is exposed because there is no way to turn on the element without the pot on the base.

After 6 month the switch stop to working and it was inposable to hit the water. So I was very upset and bought another brand

I did not use this kettle. At the same time that I ordered this kettle, I saw another one that I liked better and ordered that one. I returned this one without using it.

The element us not exposed. It is good kettle. We have had it over a year with no problems. Good luck.

No the heating element is not exposed. Read the reviews about the kettle and investigate well before you buy it. Mine broke during the warranty period and was leaking water. I sent it back.

Red glow is normal, means the heating element is working. I would check your vent tube for blockage.

The heating element itself should have an almost infinite lifetime. I would imagine that the failure would be the thermostat, failing either open or closed. I've never had a failure so cannot comment on how often that occurs.

Yes, the heating element is enclosed. The kettle is as you see it and does not open. It is fill through the spout.

Hi, there is a metal/steel at the bottom inside the pot, I believed it's a heat element.

Not enough to even notice. The wire element & the support arms are made of entirely different materials, the wire being made to heat up w/current passed through it.

Yes. We have 2 units that the heating element went out. You might be better to shop around some more.

They are exposed. But easy to reach. You must remove rack/ grill plate to get to the heating coil.

Yes and NO actually. The heating elements are in the bottom of the kettle where there is no way to reach them or touch them without difficult or bendable instruments. So that's a safe bet no one well and why most say they are not exposed. However they are in touch with the water in the kettle as such so in that regards they are exposed just not to your hand. The kettle in itself surrounds it and the only opening is the small spout which you fill the kettle through and pour the water out of. We love this kettle as so several of our friends who have this too. But there is one small problem and that is you MUST set the kettle to dry fully which can be a problem...as I've found mold inside it when I hadn't used it for a while and probably had been set in cupboard slightly damp. Was I surpised by what came out with the hot water...long sheets of black mold no kidding. Since I've disinfected it well and have had no more surprises. But been using this kettle for 13 years the same one. And now I always drain it for a full day and night and slip a rolled up paper towel the next day into it's spout hole just to act as a moisture absorbent to be sure. We don't use it daily just when we need hot boiling water for recipes these days and don't want to turn the stove burner on.

No, I don't think that is so.....I've put a pan on the element and started to heat it and then added butter, oil, whatever and it has heated up.

The heating element is located in the bottom of the fryer on the inside. This is a great deep fryer easy to clean and reduces odor by keeping the lid closed. The tube should be cool when cleaning I eiukdn recommend cleaning thus unit while it is hot

"Concealed Heating Element" means it is concealed inside the Kettle. Not visible from the outside of unit. When you open lid on kettle portion and look inside you will see the element at the bottom. There would be no danger of a child touching a hot element that is exposed. Hope this helps. Use mine for French Press Coffee and Teas! :)

The heating element is plastic , developed a crack and could not be repaired on mine. I replaced it with Rheem that performs much better .

no it's a vibration element. The water is warmed b/c you put warm water in it.

Hi bro@home, There is only one heating element on the bottom and it is not shielded from spill damage.

We just got it and have not had a chance to use it yet. Hopefully we will do so soon. I had the same question about the element/griddle, as it is heated from the toaster oven located directly below. I'll try to save your question and send you an answer.

No, the heating element is actually inside the carafe and cannot easily be touched.
